NOUVEAU

Olivier Bru, Université de Bâle, Suisse«As a teacher of FFL abroad for many years,

I wanted to refresh my knowledge. I therefore chose to study in for the DU FLE while remaining in my country. I never was isolated thanks to the

forum where I was able to exchange with my peers as well as with my teachers. I was able to

review the basics and learn new methods that reinforced my way of teaching habits.»

Valérie Ogereau, réseau FLAM*, Etats-Unis« The 100% online learning is an essential criterion given my geographical distance. The work is well-paced, the courses are well organized and the work on the final project is guided. The support of the CIDEF teachers gave me the motivation to continue my studies. »
